 Timing will be by hand held stop watches to the previous one tenth of a second.
 The starting signal will be “in your own time”. Timing will start when the leading wheels cross the timing line. Timing will stop when
the leading wheels cross the flying finish line. The car must stop astride the stop line if further penalty is not to be incurred.
 A stop signal will be displayed if there is an obstruction on the course. Competitors must stop immediately on deployment of the
signal and a re-run will be allowed. The stop signal will be demonstrated at the drivers briefing.
 In the event of a tie the fastest time from the first test will determine the tie, and then the fastest on the second test, etc. until the tie
is resolved.
